Sakurajima is 15 minutes from downtown on a ferry that runs around the clock, which makes it about the easiest active volcano in Japan to visit. On its far side, the top of a torii pokes out of the ash left by the 1914 eruption at Kurokami.
Journey back in time on the Historical Hill Climb E-bike Tour to Sakurajima's Peak, where ancient secrets and thrilling adventures await at every turn.
